The Offshore Pipeline Construction Industry: Activity Modeling and Cost Estimation in the United States Gulf of Mexico presents the latest technical concepts and economic calculations, helping engineers make better business decisions. The book covers flow assurance, development strategies on pipeline requirements and the construction service side with a global perspective. In addition, it focuses on one of the most underdeveloped, promising assets - the Gulf of Mexico. Pipeline construction and...

Describes and assesses the current status of technologies and environmental information associated with the waste oil industry. Examines the sources, properties, and availability of waste oil as well as evaluates the current collection and utilization infrastructure in terms of energy and environmental considerations, economic viability, and regulatory constraints. Addresses petroleum-derived oils only.

It is widely accepted that global discoveries of conventional oil have peaked and that the era of cheap oil has gone forever. This book demonstrates that the doom and gloom of the "Peak Oil" theory is mistaken. Clarke rebuts the arguments of Peak Oil's adherents and discusses the issues they ignore - rising crude oil prices, new or future technologies, potential improved exploration acreage and/or access to restricted world oil zones, changes in government policies, new corporate strategies,...

Storage service critically depends on inventory and deliverability. Tek covers everything you need know to have a more efficient operation. Contents: Concepts of inventory Fundmentals of hysteresis performance Practical use of hysteresis charts in inventory verification Inventory verification using storage operations data & in storage reservoirs subject to water dive Errors and uncertainty in inventory verification in underground storgage Basic concepts & fundamentals of flow through porou...

Applied Mineral Inventory Estimation presents a comprehensive applied approach to the estimation of mineral resources/reserves with particular emphasis on the geological basis of such estimations, the need for and maintenance of a high quality assay data base, the practical use of a comprehensive exploratory data evaluation, and the importance of a comprehensive geostatistical approach to the estimation methodology. Practical problems and real data are used throughout as illustrations: each chap...

Natural gas use is growing rapidly worldwide. There are several reasons the first being that natural gas requires less processing than oil for heating and energy operations. The second is that gas is more environmentally friendly, and finally gas can be transported via a pipeline or in a liquified form as LNG. Because of the demands of this expanding industry, petroleum engineers need a book focusing on the natural gas market, guiding them step-by-step by case studies and practical approaches.Th...

Fundamentals of Applied Reservoir Engineering introduces early career reservoir engineers and those in other oil and gas disciplines to the fundamentals of reservoir engineering. Given that modern reservoir engineering is largely centered on numerical computer simulation and that reservoir engineers in the industry will likely spend much of their professional career building and running such simulators, the book aims to encourage the use of simulated models in an appropriate way and exercising g...

Proceedings of the 10th Plenary Scientific Session of the International Bureau of Strata Mechanics, World Mining Congress, Stockholm, June 1987. No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

This volume is concerned with many aspects of petroleum microbiology and biochemistry, all with strong commercial applications. World-wide research on the major topic, MEOR (Microbially Enhanced Oil Recovery) is comprehensively covered under experimental work, field applications and modelling. The challenge of formulating a complete in situ MEOR system (micro-organisms, nutrient package, and other amendments) is explored together with the future needs in the design and execution of this new biot...

"Pipeline Route Selection for Rural and Cross-country Pipelines" (ASCE Manuals and Reports on Engineering Practice No. 46) is a revision of the original manual No. 46, "Report on Pipeline Location", published in 1965. Since that time, many high technology items have been developed to help the Routing Engineer, the Project Manager, and other project team members to be more productive in their jobs. The Task committee on Pipeline Route Selection made an exhaustive review of information available o...

Detailed and expanded to accommodate changes in the oil and gas industry, this text is suitable for both industry and academic mediums. The new international chapter is an overview of current international oil and gas accounting and the problems that companies face in accounting for international operations. The new pipeline accounting chapter deals with accounting under the FERC rules as contrasted with GAAP accounting. This revision discusses tax accounting using the most up-to-date tax law ch...
